I have 30+ years paid experience. My dad is an architect and I started babysitting at age 13 for clients of his. It is a joy to care for and nurture children. I am 45 and have 5 children of my own. They range from 26 to 7. I have a wonderful husband who is an Engineer at Toyota. I am a stay at home wife and mom who works part-time outside of my home when I'm able. I home-school my little ones, as well as help my 19 year old daughter with whatever she needs while she attends college to become a nurse. I've cared for children ever since I can remember. I love reading and singing with children. I have 5 younger siblings whom I cared for growing up. I've also worked with preschool aged children for many years. It's been an absolute privilege taking care of all Read more ages in various environments. I've volunteered in our church nursery, Vacation Bible School, Children's ministries, mom's day out, Helping Hands ministries and so many more throughout my life. I've also cared for my special needs niece for many years as well as having worked at a Geriatric and Pediatric special needs nursing home as a CNA. My past childcare paid jobs have consisted of caring for varying ages; from sweet infants, adventurous toddlers, engaging tweens and summer camps with awesome teenagers. I'm truly a professional in my field. I'm trustworthy, detailed, organized and always attentive. I am also patient, gentle, compassionate, joyful and full of energy! I have come across many situations that only a person with my knowledge and experience with children could have handled. Children are very unpredictable so I am always watching. I love seeing a child learn through playing because learning is supposed to be fun! Little hands having fun using their fine motor skills through crafts we create, is such a joy to see. It is extremely important to foster a trusting relationship with children. I can't ever take a parents place but in the few hours I care for children, they look to me for security, love and guidance. I have excellent references that will be happy to speak with you personally. I've also had FBI fingerprinting and an enhanced background check at the current preschool I work at part time. It's always best to make certain the person caring for your child is trustworthy and safe because our children are our most precious gifts! I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for your consideration. Have a wonderful day!

Charity has exceeded all of our expectations as a pet sitter. Our two fur babies love her, and we do too! We love how available she has been for us, especially for a couple of last minute schedule changes at the hospital. She is great with our dogs...shows them love and plays with them. I love getting pictures from her of our dogs playing outside; they always look so happy! She has been invaluable to us. We are very happy and appreciative with all that Charity has done for us. If you need a pet sitter, look no further than Charity! Sincerely, Katrina and Neil

Charity took care of our little boy on our first date after little man's arrival. She made me feel so great when I left and kept me updated so I didn't worry while we were away. He was full of giggles and smiles and I know he had a blast with her. She was wonderful and put me at ease about walking out the door and that takes a special kind of person!

Charity is an outstanding and wonderful babysitter for our two boys (5yrs & 1 yr old). From the moment we met her, she immediately began connecting with our kids. She provided us piece of mind, she periodically shared pictures & short text messages illustrating a positive and fun atmosphere. Charity sets herself apart by taking detailed notes of our expectations -- taking great care of the details that others have overlooked!

I found Charity Grace to watch my two boys and nephew (5 months, 2 1/2, and 3 years old) for two nights to enjoy adult time for my birthday. My oldest is very wild so this was the first time I have had a sitter with my infant and him, I have felt that it would be too much on a sitter not to mention my nephew was added to the event! Charity Grace proved my fear wrong, she was beyond amazing. Having 5 children herself and home schooling, she is very well versed in caring for children. She understood my children's needs and honored any of my crazy little requests. One night she came to our home and the next we took them to hers, her home, of course, passed my inspections with flying colors! I fully recommend her to all others, and this is why I give her 5 stars!!!

Charity watched three tweens for me and my colleague when we flew to San Antonio for a work event. She organized different activities for the kids to do, including a trip to the 4-D Mirror Maze. The kids had an amazing time and are still talking about how fun, sweet, entertaining, and wonderful their evening turned out. Charity communicated with us throughout the evening with pictures and texts and this was reassuring. I highly recommend Charity to care for others. She is outstanding.
